My kids thought a new peanut would be a nice gift to give me for Christmas. They presented me with a simple jigged brown synthetic nut with as ground blades. I LOVE this thing and the fit and finish is great. I think im hooked.

It's funny how the thought behind a gift can vastly outweigh the actual value. Such gifts mean so much more than buying the top-of-the-line model for yourself. That's a wonderful gift your kids gave you. Enjoy!

Those brown delrin peanuts sure look nice to me all of a sudden. My growing peanut collection might need some brown...

I just ordered an RR111 (Rough Rider Peanut Orange Smooth Bone Handles) for my friend's grandson (it will be for the boy's 8th birthday). It will be his first pocket knife, and a "rite of passage" to manhood.

Old and new brown delrin. 1974/2015. The new one on the right is not as reddish as it looks in the picture.

Yes, I remember you liked the Alox Cadet.I remember coonfingering both of those John. It cost me some money.
I didn't recall that I brought the Peanut with me, but could have been. That was 2 years ago next month if I remember - I had just picked up the Peanut along with several other new Case knives the preceding December so it may have been along for the ride.I don't really have much knife money these days but I might run over there again this year just to look and drool. [To the bystanders, Todd and I met up at the Arkansas Custom Knife Show in Little Rock a couple of years back. It will be Feb 18th and 19th this year.] I am reminded of that trip every day, because it was a snowy, sleeting day and a tractor trailer going through a slush puddle threw a handful of gravel and pecked my windshield. Now I have a crack about 2/3 the way across. I should get that fixed...

Yeah, John, you had the peanut then. I liked that green so much I ended up getting a medium stockman the same color. And, I ended up with a cadet too. You're a bad influence, John.

Well friends, my girlfriend gifted me this red bone peanut in cv for christmas this year. Its been in my pocket ever since. As you guys can see, Carls words of wisdom have struck a cord.
I havent found many uses for the p38, but i expect that to change when the weather does and i can get back to camping.
In addition to the peanut i also carry a sak hiker to work(mostly for the phillips and the saw) but on weekends, days off, and after work the sak gets left home.

Bless you, my son, you've done well! :thumb up:
It's rare that I need the P38, but it has been invaluable to me on a few occasions. Once at dinner over my sister in laws house, I was helping in the kitchen, and I heard her make a angry sounding exclamation. She had been opening a can of diced tomatoes for the spaghetti sauce she was preparing. The can opener had snapped and she had no other can opener in the house. She was franticly grabbing her car keys to go find an open store to get another can opener on a Sunday night, when I told her to hang on a minute. I dug out the P-38 from my wallet where it resides on standby duty, and she and her hubby both were puzzled. Hubby had never served in the military and didn't know what a P-38 was. Both of them were extremely surprised at this little sheet metal tool that zipped open the can.
A P-38 is a very good company to the mighty legume, as it is very similar; a little object that gets under estimated all the time until it performs. The proof is in the pudding. Legumes and tiny can openers. They go together like beans and franks. Doughnuts and coffee.
